Availability of Information
Tim Hortons Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), qualifies as a foreign private issuer in the U.S. for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Although, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is no longer required to do so, the Company currently continues to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers.
We make available, through our internet website for investors (www.timhortons-invest.com), our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after electronically filing such material with the SEC and with the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”). All references to our websites contained herein do not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained on the websites and such information should not be considered part of this document.
Reporting Currency
The majority of the Company’s operations, restaurants and cash flows are based in Canada, and the Company is primarily managed in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

TIM HORTONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands of Canadian dollars)

NOTE 1     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as at June 29, 2014, and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the second quarters ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements which are contained in our most recent Annual Report. The December 29, 2013 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included herein was derived from the audited 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all of the year-end disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Stock-based compensation - performance stock units
In May 2014, the Company granted performance stock units ("PSUs") to certain of its employees. PSU payout levels will be based on two forward looking performance measures: return on assets and total shareholder return. PSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period.
NOTE 2    INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 28.3% for the second quarter ended June 29, 2014 (second quarter fiscal 2013: 26.1%) and 28.5% for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2014 (year-to-date period fiscal 2013: 26.7%). The increase in the effective tax rate for the 2014 quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods as compared to the respective 2013 periods is primarily due to the favourable impact of a change in reserve balances in 2013 and an increase in costs in 2014 related to the Company’s new long-term debt, for which a full tax benefit cannot be recognized.

The decrease in our Tim Card obligation, and resulting decrease in Restricted cash and cash equivalents, is primarily driven by Tim Card redemptions, which can be seasonal. In addition, Restricted cash and cash equivalents decreased due to additional borrowings by the Tim Hortons Advertising and Promotion Fund (Canada) Inc. (“Ad Fund”) (see note 12).

________________  
(1) 
The Company values its derivatives using valuations that are calibrated to the initial trade prices. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model.
(2) 
The fair value of forward currency contracts is determined using prevailing exchange rates.
(3) 
The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based observable inputs, including interest rate yield curves and discount rates.
(4) 
The interest rate forwards were settled as part of the issuance of the Series 3 Notes (see note 7).
(5) 
The fair value of the TRS is determined using the Company’s common share closing price on the last business day of the fiscal period, as quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Other financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value
As at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash and cash equivalents approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these investments. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

(1) 
The Company holds these notes as collateral to reduce the carrying costs of the TRS. The interest rate on these notes resets every 90 days; therefore, the fair value of these notes, using a market approach, approximates the carrying value.
(2) 
Management generally estimates the current value of notes receivable, using a cost approach, based primarily on the estimated depreciated replacement cost of the underlying equipment held as collateral.
(3) 
The fair value of the senior unsecured notes, using a market approach, is based on publicly disclosed trades between arm’s length institutions as documented on Bloomberg L.P.
(4) 
Management estimates the fair value of this variable rate debt using a market approach, based on prevailing interest rates plus an applicable margin.
(5) 
Management estimates the fair value of its Other debt, primarily consisting of contributions received related to the construction costs of certain restaurants, using an income approach, by discounting future cash flows using a Company risk-adjusted rate over the remaining term of the debt.

______________
(1) 
The Company consolidated 328 Non-owned restaurants as at June 29, 2014 (December 29, 2013: 331).
(2) 
Various assets and liabilities are eliminated upon the consolidation of the Restaurant VIEs, the most significant of which are the FIP Notes payable to the Company, which reduces the Notes receivable, net reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (see note 4).
(3) 
The Notes payable to the Company by the Advertising Fund VIEs, which are funded by the Restricted cash and cash equivalents related to our Tim Card program, are eliminated upon consolidation of the Ad Fund. The Ad Fund drew $20.0 million in the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2014 (year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013: $nil) for purposes of the Expanded Menu Board Program.
(4) 
Includes $27.7 million of Advertising fund VIEs debt with a Canadian financial institution relating to the Expanded Menu Board Program (December 29, 2013: $30.2 million), of which $5.0 million is recognized in Other current liabilities (December 29, 2013: $5.0 million) with the remainder recognized as Long-term debt.
The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by the Company’s creditors as they are not legally included within the Company’s general assets.
NOTE 13    SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates exclusively in the quick service restaurant industry. The chief decision maker views and evaluates the Company’s reportable segments as follows:
Canadian and U.S. business units.The results of each of the Canadian and U.S. business units includes substantially all restaurant-facing activities, such as: (i) rents and royalties; (ii) product sales through our supply chain, as well as an allocation of supply chain income, driven primarily by the business units’ respective systemwide sales; (iii) franchise fees; (iv) corporate restaurants; (v) equity income related to restaurant operating ventures; and (vi) business-unit-related general and administrative expenses. The business units exclude the effect of consolidating VIEs, consistent with how the chief decision maker views and evaluates the respective business unit’s results.

Corporate services. Corporate services comprises services to support the Canadian and U.S. business units, including: (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) manufacturing income, and to a much lesser extent, manufacturing sales to third parties; and (iii) income related to our distribution services, including the timing of variances arising primarily from commodity costs and the related effect on pricing, which generally reverse within a year, associated with our supply chain management. Our supply chain management involves securing a stable source of supply, which is intended to provide our restaurant owners with consistent and predictable pricing. Many of these products are typically priced based on a fixed-dollar mark-up and can relate to a pricing period which may extend beyond a quarter. Corporate services also includes the results of our international operations, which are currently not significant.

NOTE 14    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are intended to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and markets; and provide more useful information to financial statement users through improved disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and should be applied retrospectively using one of two acceptable application methods as noted in the ASU. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption and transition to this ASU may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the fiscal 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013 (“Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) on February 25, 2014, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our Interim Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 29, 2014 filed with the SEC and the CSA on August 6, 2014. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that are not historical facts, but reflect our current expectations regarding future results. These forward-looking statements include information regarding our future economic and sales performance, strategic plan, results and outlook based on current expectations, assumptions and information, including information about our restaurant development plans, same-store sales expectations, earnings performance, capitalization alternatives, targets and operational initiatives. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements because of a number of risks and uncertainties, including the matters discussed below. Please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report and set forth in our Safe Harbor Statement and attached hereto, as well as risks described herein, for a further description of risks and uncertainties affecting our business and financial results. Historical trends should not be taken as indicative of future operations and financial results.
Our financial results are driven largely by changes in systemwide sales, which include restaurant-level sales at Company-operated restaurants, and franchisee-owned restaurants and restaurants run by independent operators (collectively, we hereunder refer to both franchisee-owned and franchisee-operated restaurants as “franchised restaurants”). We believe systemwide sales growth and same-store sales growth provide meaningful information to investors regarding the size of our system, the overall health and financial performance of our system, and the strength of our brand and restaurant owner base, which ultimately impacts our consolidated and segmented financial performance. Please refer to “Executive Overview” and “Selected Operating and Financial Highlights” below for additional information.
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). However, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist readers in understanding the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude or include amounts that are not reflected in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, we have provided the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation to GAAP measures.
References herein to “Tim Hortons,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Tim Hortons Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless specifically noted otherwise.
Description of Business
The Company’s principal business is the franchising of Tim Hortons restaurants, primarily in Canada and the U.S. As the franchisor, Tim Hortons collects royalty revenue from franchised restaurant sales. Our business generates additional revenues by controlling the underlying real estate of our franchised restaurants; real estate that is not controlled by us is generally for our non-standard restaurants. We warehouse and distribute coffee and other beverages, non-perishable food, supplies, packaging and equipment to most system restaurants in Canada, and frozen, refrigerated and shelf-stable products to certain markets in Canada. Where we are not able to leverage our scale or create warehousing or transportation efficiencies, such as in the U.S. and in certain Canadian markets, we typically manage and control the supply chain, but use third-party warehousing and transportation. In addition, the Company has vertically integrated manufacturing operations which include two coffee roasting plants and a fondant and fills manufacturing facility.
Executive Overview
Both the Canadian and U.S. economies remain challenged and, in turn, the quick service industry’s operating environment remains highly competitive. In the second quarter of 2014, we were pleased to achieve improved sales progression owing to both product innovation and operational initiatives during the early stages of our strategic plan, and build sales momentum into the second half of 2014. Our systemwide sales grew by 6.5% in the second quarter of 2014, on a constant currency basis, driven by new restaurant development and same-store sales growth.
In the second quarter of 2014, same-store sales growth of 2.6% in Canada and 5.9% in the U.S. was driven by increases in average cheque. In the year-to-date period of 2014, same-store sales growth in Canada was 2.1%, and in the U.S. was 3.9%.

18

Given our significant sales progression in the U.S., we believe that same-store sales growth in the U.S. will be at the high end, or slightly above, our targeted range for 2014 of 2.0 - 4.0%.
Operating income increased 8.9% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Growth in operating income was primarily driven by systemwide sales growth, resulting in an increase in rents and royalties and supply chain income, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses.
Year-to-date in 2014, operating income increased 10.9%, and adjusted operating income (refer to non-GAAP table) increased 7.3%, compared to the respective 2013 periods. Similar to the quarter, systemwide sales growth drove an increase in both rents and royalties and supply chain income, partially offset by the timing of expenses related to our CIBC Visa co-branded loyalty rewards credit card (the “Double DoubleTM Card”), and increased general and administrative expenses. The launch of our Double Double Card is expected to be cost-neutral on operating income over fiscal 2014.
Net income attributable to Tim Hortons Inc. was approximately flat in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, and increased 2.3% in the year-to-date period of 2014 compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. The change in both periods was due primarily to higher operating income, as discussed above, partially offset by the effect of our recapitalization, resulting in higher interest expense and a higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rates in 2013 were also favourably impacted by a change in reserve balances in the respective 2013 periods.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to Tim Hortons Inc. (“EPS”) increased $0.11, or 13.6%, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Year-to-date in 2014, EPS increased $0.20, or 14.7%, compared to the year-to-date period of 2013, which was negatively impacted by approximately $0.05 due to corporate reorganization expenses. EPS growth in both periods was driven by strong operating performance, as well as the impact of our recapitalization, primarily used for our expanded share repurchase program, which resulted in a lower number of shares outstanding. Given our strong sales progression to date in fiscal 2014 and momentum into the second half of 2014, we expect our EPS in 2014 to be at the high end, or slightly above, our targeted range of $3.17 to $3.27.

________________  
(1) 
Total systemwide sales growth is determined using a constant exchange rate to exclude the effects of foreign currency translation. Foreign currency sales are converted into Canadian dollar amounts using the average exchange rate of the base year for the period covered. Systemwide sales growth excludes sales from our Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom licensed locations. Systemwide sales growth in Canadian dollars, including the effects of foreign currency translation, was 7.2% and 5.1% for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 6.6% and 4.2% for the year-to-date periods of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(2) 
Same-store sales growth represents the average growth in retail sales at restaurants (franchised and Company-operated restaurants) operating systemwide that have been open for 13 or more months.
(3) 
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure. See below for reconciliation of adjusting items used to calculate adjusted operating income. Management uses adjusted operating income to assist in the evaluation of year-over-year performance and believes that it will be helpful to investors to better evaluate underlying operational growth rates. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s use of the term adjusted operating income may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Adjusted operating income should not be considered a measure of income generated by our business. The reconciliation of operating income, a GAAP measure, to adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, is set forth in the table below:

Operational Highlights
Single-serve products. In line with our objective to increase consumer access to our products and further expand our single-serve platform, we began shipments of our single-serve products through to the grocery channel towards the end of the second quarter of 2014. We expect the Company and our restaurant owners to benefit from sales through this channel.
Technological innovation. In line with our strategy to increase guest convenience through the use of technology, we introduced scan-to-pay and tap-to-pay mobile payments using our TimmyMeTM application at all of our integrated Canadian and U.S. restaurants in the second quarter of 2014.
In July 2014, we launched our Double Double Card in conjunction with CIBC, which leverages unique two-button technology to combine two cards into one: a CIBC Visa Credit card and our popular Tim Card program. The Double Double Card allows cardholders to earn Tim Cash rewards on everyday purchases, which can be redeemed instantly at any of our restaurants in Canada or the U.S. where the Tim Card is currently accepted, and also supports tap-to-pay technology, as discussed above.
Temporary Foreign Worker Program
A substantial portion of our earnings come from royalties, rents, and other amounts paid by restaurant owners, who operate substantially all of our restaurants. In April 2014, the Federal Government of Canada imposed a moratorium on the food service sector’s access to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (“TFWP”). On June 20, 2014, the Federal Government of Canada lifted the moratorium but announced reforms that are expected to have the net effect of restricting or reducing access to the TFWP in most markets where it existed previously. Access to labour through use of the TFWP, in some markets, particularly in parts of western Canada, has been an important tool to help our restaurant owners fill labour shortages where Canadian citizen and permanent resident employees are not sufficient. While the Company and our restaurant owners are pursuing strategies to address the government’s TFWP policy changes, the reforms may result in less restaurant development and reduced hours of operation in certain markets, and increases in labour or other costs to our owners. For further information, please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report.

Canada
Operating income increased 8.1% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Systemwide sales growth of 5.8%, driven by the incremental sales of new restaurants year-over-year and same-store sales growth of 2.6%, resulted in higher rents and royalties income and a higher allocation of supply chain income. Canada also benefited from higher franchise fee income due to increased restaurant development (see Selected Operating and Financial Highlights—New Restaurant Development) and increased renovation activity year-over-year.
Same-store sales growth in the second quarter of 2014 was driven by an increase in average cheque, resulting from favourable product mix and pricing, partially offset by same-store transaction declines. We continued to grow total systemwide transactions. In Canada, the increase in average cheque was aided by increased sales in the lunch daypart, led by the recent

22

introduction of our Crispy Chicken Sandwich, as well as increased sales in the breakfast daypart, aided by new product introductions such as the Turkey Sausage Hot Breakfast Sandwich and the new Hash Brown.
For the year-to-date period of 2014, operating income increased 6.8% compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. Operating income growth was driven primarily by systemwide sales growth of 5.2% in the year-to-date period of 2014, resulting from the net addition of new restaurants and same-store sales growth of 2.1%. Similar to the quarter, same-store sales growth in the year-to-date period of 2014 was driven by an increase in average cheque, resulting from favourable product mix and pricing, partially offset by a decline in same-store transactions. Systemwide sales growth resulted in higher rents and royalties income and a higher allocation of supply chain income. For the year-to-date period of 2014, we have recognized a net expense of $2.4 million related to the launch of the Double Double Card, which we expect to be cost-neutral on Canada’s operating income over fiscal 2014.
U.S.
Operating income was $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, a significant increase of $6.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. Systemwide sales growth of 12.3% was driven by incremental sales from the addition of new restaurants, and same-store sales growth of 5.9%. Systemwide sales growth led to growth in rents and royalties revenues, and same-store sales growth led to a significant reduction in relief from restaurants open 13 months or more. We also noted lower relief due to specific relief reduction measures, which began in the second half of 2013, and the closure of underperforming restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2013. Rents and royalties income benefited slightly from favourable lease termination settlements. A higher supply chain allocation, due primarily to systemwide sales growth and favourable product margin variability, also contributed to U.S. operating income growth, while general and administrative expenses were flat year-over-year. Foreign currency translation increased U.S. operating income by approximately $0.6 million year-over-year.
In the second quarter of 2014, same-store sales growth was driven by gains in average cheque resulting from favourable product mix and pricing. Our same-store transactions were essentially flat, and we continued to grow total systemwide transactions, as evidenced by systemwide sales growth of 12.3%. Our same-store sales growth in the second quarter of 2014 benefited from sales of cold beverages, aided by the introduction of Frozen Hot Chocolate and ongoing innovation around our Iced Capp platform, and similar to Canada, growth in the breakfast daypart.
For the year-to-date period of 2014, operating income was $13.6 million, an increase of $10.1 million compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. Systemwide sales growth of 10.2% was driven by the net addition of new restaurants and same-store sales growth of 3.9%, due to an increase in average cheque resulting from favourable product mix and pricing, partially offset by a decrease in same-store transactions. Similar to the second quarter of 2014, systemwide sales growth led to growth in rents and royalties revenues, and same-store sales growth led to a significant reduction in relief from restaurants open 13 months or more. We also noted lower relief due to specific relief reduction measures and restaurant closures. This growth was partially offset by higher operating expenses, due to an overall increase in the number of properties owned or leased. U.S. operating income growth also benefited from a higher supply chain allocation, due to the same factors impacting the second quarter of 2014, and the favourable timing of general and administrative expenses. Foreign currency translation increased U.S. operating income by approximately $1.0 million year-over-year.
We continue to focus on increasing our returns in the U.S. segment. In the second quarter of 2014, consistent with our strategic plan, we signed a multi-unit development agreement to develop approximately 20 standard and non-standard restaurants affiliated with a chain of convenience stores and gas stations located in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia over a five-year term. In July 2014, we signed an area development agreement to develop approximately 25 restaurants in Richmond County, New York, and Middlesex County, New Jersey over a 10-year term. Since the fourth quarter of 2013, we have entered into a total of six agreements to develop approximately 135 standard and non-standard restaurants over the next 10 years in different U.S. markets.
Corporate services
Our Corporate services segment had an operating loss of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increased operating loss in our Corporate services segment was driven by increased corporate costs, due in part to higher salaries and benefits and higher professional fees in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 (see Results of Operations— General and Administrative Expenses for further information). Additionally, unfavourable product margins in our supply chain recognized in the second quarter of 2014 compared to favourable product margins recognized in the second quarter of 2013 contributed to the increased operating loss. We expect product margin variability to generally reverse within the fiscal year, although timing differences can result in fluctuations quarter-over-quarter.
Year-to-date in 2014, our Corporate services segment had an operating loss of $22.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $12.1 million in the year-to-date period of 2013. The increased operating loss was primarily driven by unfavourable

23

product margins recognized in the year-to-date period of 2014, compared to favourable product margins recognized in the year-to-date period of 2013, as well as higher salaries and benefits and professional fees.

The financial results of our U.S. segment are denominated in U.S. dollars and translated into Canadian dollars for consolidated reporting purposes. While foreign currency translation, primarily related to the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, impacted individual revenue and expense items in the second quarter of 2014 and the year-to-date period of 2014, it did not have a significant impact on operating income.
(2) 
Rents and royalties revenues includes rents and royalties derived from our franchised restaurant sales, and certain advertising levies primarily associated with the Tim Hortons Advertising and Promotion Fund (Canada) Inc.’s (“Ad Fund”) program to acquire LCD screens, media engines, drive-thru menu boards and ancillary equipment for our restaurants (“Expanded Menu Board Program”) (see Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 12 Variable Interest Entities). Franchised restaurant sales are reported to us by our restaurant owners, and are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, other than consolidated Non-owned restaurants. Franchised restaurant sales do, however, result in royalties and rental revenues, which are included in our franchise revenues, as well as distribution sales. The reported franchised restaurant sales (including consolidated Non-owned restaurants) were:

In the second quarter of 2014, the growth in sales compared to the second quarter of 2013 was driven primarily by increased distribution sales. In the year-to-date period of 2014, the growth in sales compared to the year-to-date period of 2013

24

was again driven primarily by increased distribution sales, partially offset by a decrease in sales from variable interest entities (“VIEs”).
Distribution sales. Distribution sales were $511.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $468.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase of $43.2 million, or 9.2%, was driven primarily by systemwide sales growth, which contributed approximately 6.5% of the increase, and to a lesser extent, commodity-related pricing, reflective of their underlying costs. For the year-to-date period of 2014, distribution sales were $964.1 million, an increase of $64.4 million, or 7.2%, compared to the year-to-date period of 2013, driven primarily by systemwide sales growth, which contributed approximately 5.3% of the growth. Foreign currency translation increased distribution sales by approximately 0.5% in both periods.
Our distribution sales are subject to changes related to underlying costs of key commodities, such as coffee, wheat, edible oils and sugar, and other products. Changes in underlying costs are largely passed through to restaurant owners, but will typically occur after changes in spot market prices as we generally utilize fixed-price contracts as a method to provide restaurant owners with consistent, predictable pricing and to secure a stable source of supply. We generally have forward purchasing contracts in place for a six-month period of future supply for our key commodities, but have occasionally extended beyond this time frame in periods of elevated market volatility or tight supply conditions. Underlying commodity costs can also be impacted by currency changes. These cost changes can impact distribution sales, and cost of sales, and can create volatility quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. These changes may impact margins in a quarter as many of these products are typically priced based on a fixed-dollar mark-up and can relate to a pricing period which may extend beyond a quarter.
The current market price of coffee, a key commodity for the Company, has recently experienced an increase. Our purchase commitments to the end of fiscal 2014 reflect previous lower market coffee pricing, however, beginning in fiscal 2015, our purchase commitments are reflective of the elevated market price of coffee. As noted above, changes in underlying costs are largely passed through to restaurant owners, and we and our restaurant owners have some ability to increase product pricing to offset any rises in commodity prices, subject to restaurant owner and guest acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while it is not our current practice, we may choose not to pass along all price increases to our restaurant owners, which could have a more significant effect on our business and results of operations than if we pass along all increases to our restaurant owners. For a full description of the related risk factors, please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report.
Variable interest entities’ sales. VIEs’ sales were $94.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 0.9% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to foreign currency translation, which increased VIEs’ sales by 3.5%, and mix of consolidated restaurants, partially offset by a decrease, on average, of 16 fewer VIEs.
In the year-to-date period of 2014, VIEs’ sales were $177.7 million, a decrease of 1.4% compared to the year-to-date period of 2013, driven primarily by the decrease, on average, of 23 fewer VIEs. The decrease was partially offset by foreign currency translation, which increased VIEs’ sales by 3.8%, and mix of consolidated restaurants.
The number of consolidated Non-owned restaurants has decreased slightly since the end of fiscal 2013. The following table outlines the number of consolidated Non-owned restaurants, on average, and in each respective period:

Franchise Revenues
Rents and Royalties. Revenue from rents and royalties increased 7.5% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was driven by systemwide sales growth, which contributed approximately 7.1% of the increase, and foreign currency translation, which increased rents and royalties revenues by approximately 0.5%.
In the year-to-date period of 2014, revenue from rents and royalties increased 7.0% compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. Similar to the quarter, the increase was driven primarily by systemwide sales growth, contributing approximately 6.1% of the growth, and foreign currency translation, which increased rents and royalties revenues by approximately 0.6%.
Franchise Fees. Franchise fees increased $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was driven by an increase in renovations, as well as increased restaurant resales and development, primarily in Canada. In the year-to-date period of 2014, franchise fees increased $18.9 million compared to the year-to-date period of

25

2013, again due to an increase in renovations primarily in Canada, and increased restaurant development across all of our markets.
Total Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales
In both the second quarter and year-to-date period of 2014, the growth in cost of sales compared to the respective 2013 periods was driven primarily by growth in distribution cost of sales, partially offset by a decrease in VIEs’ cost of sales.
Distribution cost of sales. Distribution cost of sales was $438.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $399.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase of $39.4 million, or 9.9%, was primarily driven by systemwide sales growth, which contributed approximately 6.8% of the increase and, to a lesser extent, commodity-related pricing. Foreign currency translation increased distribution cost of sales by approximately 0.5%.
In the year-to-date period of 2014, distribution cost of sales was $832.4 million compared to $774.6 million in the year-to-date period of 2013. The increase of $57.8 million, or 7.5%, was driven primarily by systemwide sales growth, which contributed approximately 5.4% of the increase. Foreign currency translation increased distribution cost of sales by approximately 0.5%.
Our distribution costs are subject to changes related to the underlying costs of key commodities, such as coffee, wheat, edible oils, sugar, and other product costs (see Revenues—Sales—Distribution Sales above for further information).
Variable interest entities’ cost of sales. VIEs’ cost of sales was $81.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 2.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2013. In the year-to-date period of 2014, VIEs’ cost of sales was $155.4 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 4.2%, compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to the decrease in average number of VIEs, partially offset by foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation increased VIEs’ cost of sales by approximately 3.6% in the second quarter of 2014, and 3.9% in the year-to-date period of 2014.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $7.4 million, or 9.6% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Property-related depreciation expense increased by $3.6 million, including foreign currency translation, due to both an increase in the number of properties either owned or leased, and then subleased to restaurant owners, and renovations to existing restaurants. Rent expense increased by $3.1 million year-over-year, primarily due to 161 additional properties that were leased and then subleased to restaurant owners. Foreign currency translation increased operating expenses by approximately 0.9%.
In the year-to-date period of 2014, operating expenses increased $13.0 million, or 8.5%, compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. Property-related depreciation increased by $7.0 million, including foreign currency translation, due to both new and existing restaurants, and rent expense increased by $6.5 million year-over-year. Operating expenses related to the Expanded Menu Board Program also increased by $1.1 million year-over-year. These increases were partially offset by favourable lease termination settlements. Foreign currency translation increased operating expenses by approximately 1.0%.
We anticipate the growth in operating expenses to increase over the course of fiscal 2014, due to increased rent and depreciation related to new restaurant openings, and increased depreciation related to renovations.
Franchise Fee Costs
Franchise fee costs increased $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, due primarily to an increase in renovations, as well as increased restaurant resales and restaurant development, primarily in Canada. In the year-to-date period of 2014, franchise fee costs increased $16.7 million compared to the year-to-date period of 2013, again due to an increase in renovations primarily in Canada, and increased restaurant development across all of our markets.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased 5.8% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, and in the year-to-date period of 2014, increased 3.6% compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. The increase in both periods was due to increased salaries and benefits resulting primarily from fewer vacancies in the organization, and higher professional fees related to strategic initiatives. Partially offsetting the increase were lower promotional expenses, related primarily to Cold Stone Creamery in Canada. Foreign currency translation increased general and administrative expenses by approximately 1.3% in both periods.

26

We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase over fiscal 2014, primarily as vacancies resulting from the corporate reorganization (see below) were filled over the course of fiscal 2013.
Corporate Reorganization Expenses
We completed the realignment of roles and responsibilities into our corporate centre and business unit design at the end of the first quarter of 2013, and incurred additional Chief Executive Officer transition costs to the end of fiscal 2013 (please refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report for a full description).
Other Expense (Income), net
Other income recognized in the second quarter of 2014 and other expense recognized in the year-to-date period of 2014 primarily related to the launch of our Double Double Card, which occurred in July 2014. We continue to expect the launch of the Double Double Card to be cost-neutral over fiscal 2014.
In comparison, other income recognized in the second quarter of 2013 was due primarily to foreign exchange gains. Other income recognized in the year-to-date period of 2013 was primarily due to the gain on a corporate property sale, as well as foreign exchange gains.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense in both the second quarter of 2014 and year-to-date period of 2014, compared to the respective 2013 periods, was due to the increase in our long-term debt. Our interest expense in the second quarter of 2014 is indicative of future interest expense related to the increase in our long-term debt (see Liquidity and Capital Resources for further information).
Income Taxes
The increase in the effective income tax rate for the 2014 quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods as compared to the respective 2013 periods is primarily due to the favourable impact of a change in reserve balances in 2013 and an increase in costs in 2014 related to our new long-term debt, for which a full tax benefit cannot be recognized.
During the quarter, there have been no significant developments related to the Canada Revenue Agency matters discussed in our Annual Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary source of liquidity has historically been, and continues to be, cash generated from Canadian operations which has for the most part self-funded our operations, growth in new restaurants, capital expenditures, dividends, normal course share repurchases, acquisitions and investments. In fiscal 2014, our U.S. operations have, and are expected to continue to, contribute positively to our cash flow. Our $250.0 million revolving bank facility provides an additional source of liquidity (see Credit Facilities below for additional information). During the second quarter of 2014, we borrowed $15.0 million on this facility for general corporate purposes, which was fully repaid in July 2014. We believe that we will continue to generate adequate operating cash flows over the next 12 months.
In March 2014, Tim Hortons Inc. raised $450.0 million in long-term debt through the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes, Series 3, due April 1, 2019 (“Series 3 Notes”), a portion of which was utilized to settle our $400.0 million revolving bank facility, which is now fully retired. Please refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s First Quarter Report for the quarter ended March 30, 2014, filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC and CSA on May 7, 2014 for a full description.
We regularly assess capital structure, and seek to identify opportunities to generate value for shareholders. Since the third quarter of 2013, our outstanding long-term debt increased by $900.0 million, which was used for the retirement of the 2013 Revolving Bank Facility, and general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. The accretive benefits to EPS of our expanded share repurchase program more than offset the after-tax cost of our interest expense that resulted from increasing the amount of our debt to fund those repurchases. Under our current structure, increasing our debt levels substantially beyond $900.0 million to repurchase shares could result in further increases in the effective tax rate resulting from incurring additional interest expense for which we may not receive a tax benefit, and/or increases in income or withholding taxes on distributions from our Canadian operating company to our parent corporation. Addressing constraints in our capital structure is an important consideration to maintaining our effective tax rate over the longer term, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to address these constraints in a timely or tax efficient manner. Our inability to address these constraints in a timely or efficient manner could negatively affect our projected results, future operations, and financial condition. For a full description of this related risk factor, please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report.

27

If additional funds are needed for strategic initiatives or other corporate purposes beyond those currently available, we believe that, with the strength of our balance sheet and our strong capital structure, we could borrow additional funds. Our ability to incur additional indebtedness will also be limited by our financial and other covenants under our $250.0 million revolving bank facility (see Credit Facilities below for additional information). Our Senior Unsecured Notes, Series 1, due June 1, 2017, Senior Unsecured Notes, Series 2, due December 1, 2023, and Series 3 Notes are not subject to any financial covenants; however, certain other covenants apply. Any additional borrowings may result in an increase in our borrowing costs. If such additional borrowings are significant, our credit rating may be downgraded, and it is possible that we would not be able to borrow on terms which are favourable to us.
When evaluating our leverage position, we look at metrics that consider the impact of long-term operating and capital leases as well as other long-term debt obligations. We believe this provides a more meaningful measure of our leverage position given our significant investments in real estate. As at June 29, 2014, we had approximately $1.4 billion in long-term debt and capital leases (excluding current portion) on our balance sheet, excluding Ad Fund debt related to the Expanded Menu Board Program.
Credit Facilities
We have a $250.0 million unsecured senior revolving facility credit agreement (the “Revolving Bank Facility”), which we expect to be used for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and other business purposes. The Revolving Bank Facility includes a $25.0 million overdraft availability and a $25.0 million letter of credit facility. At June 29, 2014, we had drawn $15.0 million for general corporate purposes, which was fully repaid in July 2014, and had utilized $5.7 million of the Revolving Bank Facility to support standby letters of credit. The Revolving Bank Facility requires the maintenance of two financial ratios: a consolidated maximum total debt coverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as at June 29, 2014.
Common Shares
Our outstanding share capital is comprised solely of common shares. An unlimited number of common shares, without par value, is authorized, and as at June 29, 2014, we had 133,126,058 common shares outstanding, and outstanding stock options with tandem stock appreciation rights held by current and former officers and employees to acquire 1,667,495 of our common shares pursuant to our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, of which 769,495 were exercisable.
Comparative Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided from operating activities in the year-to-date period of 2014 was $227.7 million compared to $258.3 million in the year-to-date period of 2013, a decrease of $30.6 million in the year-to-date period of 2014 compared to the year-to-date period of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of taxes payable. The settlement of interest rate forwards and cash deposits with tax authorities in the year-to-date period of 2014 also resulted in a decrease in cash flow from operating activities.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $95.8 million in the year-to-date period of 2014 compared to $87.4 million in the year-to-date period of 2013, an increase of $8.5 million. The increase year-over-year is primarily due to increased capital expenditures at existing restaurants, due to both an increase in the number of renovations year-over-year and timing of renovations completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, and new restaurant development. Below is a summary of our capital expenditures:

Net proceeds from the issuance of our Series 3 Notes were offset by an additional $387.2 million returned to shareholders in the form of common share repurchases and dividends paid in the year-to-date period of 2014 compared to the year-to-date period of 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have “off-balance sheet” arrangements as at June 29, 2014 or December 29, 2013.
Contractual Obligations
In the first quarter of 2014, we issued Series 3 Notes of $450.0 million, and also entered into an agreement with one of our suppliers requiring minimum purchase obligations, within the normal course of operations, of U.S. $115.8 million over the six-year term of the agreement. Other than these developments, our contractual obligations have not changed materially since December 29, 2013.

(3) 
On February 20, 2014, we announced we obtained regulatory approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to commence a new share repurchase program (“2014 Program”), authorizing the repurchase of $440.0 million in common shares, not to exceed the regulatory maximum of 13,726,219 shares, representing 10% of our public float as defined under the TSX rules. The 2014 Program commenced February 28, 2014 and is due to terminate on February 27, 2015, or earlier if the $440.0 million or 10% share maximum is reached. Common shares purchased pursuant to the 2014 Program will be cancelled. The 2014 Program may be terminated by us at any time, subject to compliance with regulatory requirements. As such, there can be no assurance regarding the total number of shares or the equivalent dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the 2014 Program.
Dividend Restrictions with Respect to Part II, Item 2 Matters
The Company’s Revolving Bank Facility limits the payment of dividends by the Company. The Company may not make any dividend distribution unless, at the time of, and after giving effect to the aggregate dividend payment, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Revolving Bank Facility, and there is no default outstanding under the Revolving Bank Facility.
